Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection Not Working Google Search

I just noticed that Google.com search results are crazy long with what look like either AI flags or tracking parameters. I have Advanced Tracking and Fingerprinting Protection turned on for Private and Public, but not preventing. If I use Cleanurl.com it removes them, but an extra step and not 100% sure if it prevents query parameter tracking on their servers, or just cleans URL locally. Seems to appear no matter what version/UTM search I use.


Any info or ideas.


Also - A new reason to hate Google. I’ve tried Bing, DuckDuckGo and others but alas best results on Google. Can anyone recommend a worthy competitor where this kind of tracking is blocked and no AI or it can be disabled?
